Just to keep this one going...there is a lot of talk of physics with not much of it being right! (geeks see centripetal force) here comes the science! A little back brake first before applying front forces the front wheel down in to the black stuff harder (increasing surface contact area by squishing the tyre) increasing the grip and braking force you can apply to the front, while still allowing you to keeping you centre of gravity closer to the pivot point (the rear axe!) I am new to SS and fixed and coming form motorbike riding I won't be with out a back brake...if your mincing round the flatlands of London then you might get away day to day with front only....but the one time you need it might be you last (or someone else's!!).
I guess that makes rear brakes like insurance? Humm..So...If I'm happy with my ability to drive and sure my car is in good working order I don't really need insurance???
Also...I am building a SS now and I want a back brake for the aesthetic of having a polished Alloy brake and white cable running down my gloss black frame setting it off just lovely!
.....in though the nose and out through the mouth and.... end :) -
